Thank you for the reply. It doesn’t sound as if you have need of bike shops, being self sufficient. We are also looking for a nearly shop to box our bikes. Mine is a Stratus with couplers. I don’t suppose you’d have any thoughts?
We are landing in Barcelona and taking a taxi to a hotel directly adjacent to a bike shop and starting our trip from there. We are envisioning a similar scenario in reverse for our departure.
Stuttgart is also a possible departure city. I do like small airports.
I’ve stayed five different places, four of which I would recommend: Novotel by the airport, Hilton there at the terminal, Hampton Inn, and Gasthof Neuwirt. The Gasthof is my favorite and where I now try to stay each time. They have a really good restaurant there as well that is usually very busy. 10 jammer breakfast, but transport to the airport is a little tricky. I normally take the bus and train. You could also get an Über.

Thanks
Just read your end of your tour “so long ago”, when I will be going to EU in May, minus toting a bike. At least I have that one “down”, but, you never know what “channels the security brains”…

10 months agoEasy to see a bunch of great photos and think cycle touring us always wonderful, but there are always going to be highs and lows.
10 months agoI sure do. I am sure they will be very happy to see me, though I’m sure grandpaw has been spoiling them while I was gone.

I only know the areas around Frankfurt and Munich airports. I’ve never had need of a bike shop because I always packed my bikes myself. The last four I took with a recumbent bike, I used an Azub Origami that folds down and can be packed in a Term Airporter suitcase. I only used it one tour because I switched to touring by velomobile. Which reminds me, I need to get that bike listed for sale. So no, I don’t know of any bike shops to recommend. The only shop I know is a velomobile shop in Aichach near Augsburg, and I don’t think that would be of any help to you.
